Railroad Bill Threat Faces Washington
The threat of opposition to the administration railroad bill faded in the House and the measure moved toward passage. Joseph B. Eastman, IC C veteran, would be railroad coordinator to push the industry toward a paying basis. Eastman, 50, New York native, Amherst alumnus, previously served on state and federal commissions and as counsel in wage cases. The bill also places holding companies under ICC jurisdiction and repeals the 1920 cap on transport profits, with provisions on possible reappointment. Rayburn notes Senate labor amendments affect layoffs but allow vacancies through normal turnover while aiming to cut freight rates via other economies.
